This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, and to mark the occasion, organizers have lifted the curtain on a lineup that promises to be one of the fest's most exciting, rich and musically diverse to date.

A total of around 60 acts with roots in 18 countries, 10 states and eight provinces will be on hand to perform. You can find a complete lineup breakdown here.

The festival opens July 13 with a free concert, with details to be announced.

Weekend passes are already on sale, with a regular adult pass running for $155, plus service charges. Different price points are also available for seniors, students, and youth between the ages of 13 and 18. Full ticketing details can be found through the festival's official site here.
